Old Mobile (1MB147) Indian House, Mobile County, Alabama.
Summary
In 1994-1996 the University of South Alabama's Center for Archaeological Studies excavated the site of an Indian House (1MB147) near the Old Mobile Site (1MB94). The two sites were contemporaneous, with occupations between 1702 and 1711. Old Mobile was the French capital of the colony of Louisiane. Site 1MB147, known as the Indian House, was a domestic dwelling occupied by Native Americans, perhaps Mobilians, situated immediately across a swamp that delimited the western extent of Old Mobile. Diane Silvia supervised this excavation and included a description and analysis of results in her 1998 dissertation for Tulane University.
